So the RRC rego will be paid for another 12 months, while I either look for a 110/perentie/defender/county or something else that suits my needs (W460 perhaps) and then offload the RRC, if I cannot find a better way to do it.
I honestly don't want someone elses 'project' as each time I have purchased someone elses 'project' I would have been better off starting from scratch.
Here's a funny anecdote though...
re-engineering a leaf sprung chassis for coils is easier than swapping an almost identical standard coil sprung chassis, with improved braking...
I don't really see the problem. If you want to use your chassis .... just use it .... Its from a 1975 range rover from what I can tell once the body is removed .......................... I'm sure we have someone here that will donate you a pair of body tags from an early wreck .....
